GrowerBaal Let's try an original classic. I got these Grand Daddy Purps (feminized) from the original breeder for relatively little money. However, they won't be completely fresh anymore, which is why I got them cheap. Since I had good experiences last time with a hydrogen peroxide mixture for germinating less willing seeds, I mixed 1ml of 12% hydrogen peroxide with 5ml of tap water this time to create a roughly 2% solution. The seed will stay in that for a few hours. This time, though, not 12 hours, but rather 8 hours, since I'm traveling early tomorrow morning.
In a 4L pot, there's Plagron Lightmix and some mycorrhiza. Later, a coconut plug will go in the middle on top, where the seed will be buried about 1 cm deep at the end, and then we'll wait.
After about 8 hours in the hydrogen peroxide solution, I have now planted the seed. In the end, the usual plastic dome went over the whole thing.

GrowerBaal Day 2 - 4.5 cm
Yesterday, she poked her little head out of the soil. Germination took 3 days, which I find remarkable for what is probably older seeds. New seeds usually take three to four days with me as well. It could be coincidence, but so far, the hydrogen peroxide doesn't seem to have harmed her at least. Everything is going normally so far, and she measured 4.5 cm today.
Day 5 - 6.5 cm
So far, she seems to be doing well, and she measured 6.5 cm today. I'm leaving the dome on for at least one more day so that the second set of leaves can form properly. I haven't needed to water her yet.
Day 6 - 7 cm
Today, I removed the cover.

GrowerBaal Day 10 - 8 cm
You seem to be doing well so far, and I hope the pests don't infest this tent as well.
Today, I gave her 140 ml of tap water at 23 degrees.
Day 13 - 8.5 cm
Yesterday, I gave her 140 ml of tap water. I'll probably transplant her over the weekend or on Monday. So far, I've seemingly had luck with her, as I can't spot any leaf miner tunnels yet. That will probably change at some point, which is why I'll likely take a little break after her.
